Wego reports that travelers entering or leaving the UAE with currencies, negotiable financial instruments, or valuables worth AED 60,000 or more must now declare them to the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security (ICP). This regulation aims to bolster transparency and security at UAE ports.

 

Declarations can be conveniently made through either the official ICP website or the Afseh app, accessible on both Google Play and the App Store. This digital platform ensures a smooth and efficient process and provides travelers with a user-friendly interface to meet their declaration requirements seamlessly.

For travelers under 18, the value of items in their possession is added to the permitted limit of their parent, guardian, or accompanying adult. This helps families make a single, straightforward declaration, making it easier to comply when traveling together.

The ICP’s declaration system underscores the UAE’s commitment to security and transparency for all travelers. By following these regulations, travelers aid in preventing illicit activities and ensuring all financial transactions are legal and transparent. This collaborative effort between the authorities and travelers helps maintain the integrity and safety of the UAE’s borders and financial system.
